While millions of people struggle to eat or heat their homes, and thousands of families face eviction, foodbanks and homelessness due to sanctions, bedroom tax and loss of disability benefits, Capita cashes in with conferences for Lord Freud (Minister for Dismantling Welfare) and his workfare collaborators.

You could pay £350 – £575 (plus VAT) to join all those snouts in the workfare trough at the Park Plaza Riverbank Hotel. Or you can let them know what you think via twitter, email, phone – follow the links below.

We’ll post the conference hash tag as soon as we have it so you can join in the discussions on the day (or you can check out @capitaconf and their inspiring #capitaconf hashtag to see for yourself). You could also use the DWP’s #job2014 hashtag. The DWP are making a big effort to improve their social media presence – the least we can do is increase their footfall @DWPgovuk

The aim of the conference is to get ‘partners’ who make money from it ready for the next stage of ‘benefit reform’, with a special focus on ‘shifting the culture’. Let’s shift it in another direction!

In addition to the DWP’s own Lord Freud, (one of the chief architects in paying the private sector to dismantle welfare rights aka the great welfare rip off) the organisations below are supporting the event.

Private and voluntary sector organisations making big money from the outsourcing of welfare – let them know (politely) what you think…

Sinead Butters CEO of Aspire will be speaking on ‘achieving social and financial return on investment’ – and ‘delivering enhanced employment and skills interventions to tenants’. Let her know what you think about making money out of workfare and using housing as a route to coerce people into ‘skills interventions’.

A2Dominion – another housing association collaborating with the DWP’s benefits cuts agenda. As part of the ‘digital deal pilot’, A2Dominion are ‘getting social tenants on line as part of preparation for universal credit’.

Fiona Cornell, Deputy Executive Director, will be talking about the digital deal pilot and how it helps the DWP to spy on and harass claimants
Twitter: @A2Dominion

Lewisham, Wigan and Southwark councils are also taking part. If you live in these boroughs, why not let them know what you think: Gerri Scott (Southwark Strategic Director of Housing), Peter Gadson (Lewisham Head of Customer Insight), Alison McKenzie-Folan (Wigan Director of Customer Transformation) and Graham Cadle (Croydon Director of Customer Services).

We’re sorry to see CAB taking part. CAB workers across the country have seen first hand the impact of sanctions, forced unpaid labour, bedroom tax and other benefit cuts. The evidence is set out in a report from Manchester CAB. So why is Katie Shaw, Head of CAB Welfare Policy chairing this event? Workfare and other attacks on social security and workers’ rights would collapse without the collusion of the voluntary sector.

@JOHNNY. Don’t forget this and similar events are a TRADE FAIR…with us lot as the fucking ‘ trade ‘. Its a cattle market with us going to the slaughter ..
We can stop all this shit if we refuse to be THE TRADE….do not comply…stop being the fucking goods ..without our co operation they will have nothing ..

@Johnny thanks for the heads up about Lewisham mate…fucking council dumped me into shitty flat surrounded by fucking crazy violent cunts…that is why I am in this dump…the fucking bastards have outsurced
Or rrather let a private firm take over the running of this place and the arseholes have cut the staff. The result is that there is not enough to deal with the clients here ..one resident has died here already and the fucking company was here shitting bricks frightened they will lose the contract.. They fucking need to useless fuckers..
So JV big shock to see poxy Lewisham council getting in on the ” cattle market ” W2W scam…I wonder how this bodes for the local claimants …I dread to think..

BTW isn’t Lewisham council a labour run one ? Wtf does that mean FFS .

Exactly Bob, Labour run councils. Labour are very nearly as bad as the Tories. What surprises me most is the CAB participating in this. The frontline workers must be horrified by this. A days work for a days pay, it really isn’t asking too much. Fucking exploitative wankers.

On Sunday politics a question was put to university students “do you have time to activist ” or words to that effect, they answered no too much paperwork to do, they can hit the bars and get drunk often enough though.
The interviewer and others said the young will find their own way of dealing with being excluded from the economy. LIKE WHAT.

Crapita are behind Service Birmingham, the company bleeding that city dry with a contract signed by the Tories and LibDems, it includes such value for money items as £7000 p.a. for a computer you could buy from PC World for a few hundred pounds (see Private Eye)

SURELY NOT THE SAME, STEPHEN DUCKWORTH WHO HAD AN ACCIDENT WHICH LEFT HIM PARALYSED FROM THE NECK UPWARDS AND HATES HIS DISABILITY SO MUCH, THAT HE WANTS TO INFLICT PAIN ON OTHERS……………………………………………………

THESE ARE HIS COMMENTS ON PIP EXAMINATIONS, YOU KNOW THE ONES THAT STEAL THE DISABILITY LIVING ALLOWANCE FROM RIGHTFUL HOLDERS.

On the question of targets, he says he has no insight into how the government has calculated the likely drop in the number of people receiving the benefit.

“I can understand why the publishing of that information would make people anxious. My understanding is that individuals will be assessed on an individual basis against the published descriptors.”

He stresses that Capita has no DWP mandated target to reduce the number of people found eligible. “There are targets in terms of our quality of service, the timely nature in which we deliver, producing reports that are of a high quality. We are not targeted at all, in any way, in terms of reducing numbers.”

THE NEWEST OF THE DWP’S DIRTY TRICKS THAT WILL KILL A FEW MORE THOUSAND DISABLED THAT WILL BE SWEPT UNDER THE CARPET…………………

STRANGE HOW THEY ALL REPEAT LORD FRAUDS MANTRA ABOUT THERE BEING NO TARGETS……………..

YET ESTHER MCVEY INFORMED PARLIAMENT THAT 600,000 WOULD LOSE OUT ON THE NEW PIP TEST.

HOW CAN YOU ASSUME SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND WOULD LOSE OUT IF THERE ARE NO TARGETS?????

,,,,,,,,,,INCIDENTALLY, ATOS HAD NO TARGETS BUT THE CEMETERY IS FULL OF THEM!

THE DWP AND HM COURTS AND TRIBUNAL SERVICE, A MARRIAGE MADE IN HEAVEN………

EVEN MORE SINISTER IS THAT I SENT 4 REPORTS TO THE DWP FROM DOCTORS THAT STATED MY CONDITION WOULD NOT IMPROVE!

THESE REPORTS ARE FROM DWP DOCTORS……………………..

I ALSO SENT A MEDICAL REPORT THAT WAS WRITTEN BY A HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL USED BY THE DWP. IN 2007.

THE HCP QUOTED;
“I ADVISE THAT THERE IS UNLIKELY TO BE A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THE PRESENT MEDICAL CONDITION OR THE FUNCTIONAL EFFECTS OF THE CONDITION IN THE LONGER TERM”

“THE CLIENTS LEVEL OF DISABILITY IS UNLIKELY TO VARY SIGNIFICANTLY IN THE NEAR FUTURE”

they try to and do crush the self esteem of some, by giving us the run around to prove our benefit entitlement….then set up the managed decline WP, to persuade us that this crushing is all in our minds and we can buy our self esteem back, if we would only do as they say…as there is no reasonably available employment, for the majority of the millions, that they claim to work ready, and obviously many are realistically unable too work…we are trapped…in a system that provides no realistic reliable solutions. it is in this construct that they expect those least resourced and able provide it, to do so ie for ourselves, the vicious circle of run around…statistics prove hands down that the work programme is worse than useless, yet they persist with it!…their assertion that self esteem is won or earned is simply NOT true….if one refuses to participate when one has agreed/coerced or mandated to take part, leads to sanctions, which further destroys self esteem by blocking voice…SE comes only from within, once voice is blocked so is SE…it is called SE by cause of it coming from within, ie from self, it is gut, knee jerk, intuitive, natural reaction, with full unequivocal voice… often the rationalisations only comes from the feared consequences of expressing one’s voice…the goal is not to learn SE, but to recover it… self esteem is only recovered and maintained by using voice to express what human being feels emotionally, the traumas caused by coercion destroys/dampens that voice…freewill is freedom of mind to choose….we are only free if we can tell the world what freedom is, without conditionality or sanctions coercion….

Why are CAB taking part in this Crapita conference? This might be one reason…

When the Coagulation took power, CAB were hit with cuts, big ones. Then rescue funding was announced. Unfortunately, the rescue funding was to administered by the DWP. The welfies I had contact with were all in agreement that this was a very bad move, because they would be compelled to jump when the DWP pulled the strings. All were concerned that they would no longer be free to give the best advice to individuals seeking their help.

Incidentally, Crapita have a massive presence within the NHS. They have many contracts to run HR for the NHS and their employees across all the different disciplines. They are have proven themselves to be just as useless in running NHS HR as their predecessors in the job – ATOS.

CAB didn’t have the luxury of telling the DWP to get lost Bob, the cuts to CAB were so bad that never was the term “rescue funding” more apt. So many offices have closed, so many desperately needing help, I doubt there was any way they would/could have said no.

The paid staff at my local CAB are all still under threat of losing their jobs or having hours cut. Some paid staff have gone and the wait for appointments getting ridiculous.

If they were using forced volunteers (and training them to give basic advice) then what quality of advice would they be giving out if they are only working there under duress?

Remember folks! That packet of biscuits* you got them home and were thoroughly broken and smashed up in the middle of the packet and the ends were fine, even though you took care to put them in the top of the shopping bag?** Well those biscuits might well have been the result of a frustrated and angry employee*** who had nowhere else to vent except on their production line.

* In the days when we could afford such luxuries
** In the days when you could afford enough shopping to fill a shopping bag
*** Employees – now on the official list of Endangered Species

@Lucy. Utter bastards i bet it was intentional to get CAB in their pocket. I wonder if their officer will tell the conference how it is. But they wont be listening they will be at the bar enjoying hospitality

the formation of a CAS was 1st mooted by the pre-war, gov of 1935, to provide info for the fledgling social welfare service….and 1st 200 offices opened sept 4 1939, war was declared 3/9/39….http://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/index/aboutus/ourhistory.htm
the CAB, was originally funded by the ministry of health….

Haha I contacted Aspire housing via their online feedback form which turned out to be complaints form.
They ask what’s the issue I told them workfare and UC they then ask how should they resolve the issue ..I told them not to attend this fucking convention
Then submitted the form and got a thank you we will be in touch.

DIRECTION NOTICE….. dear MR xxxxx (1) you have appealed against DWP’S decision that JSA should not be paid to because of an alleged failure to participate in one of their back to work schemes, (2) the issues raised by your appeal are likely to be affected by the outcome of a test case that is currently going through the courts. the name of the test case is Reilly and wilson vrs the seretary of state for work and pensions. the case has received wide media coverage . (3) DWP as exercised it’s power to serve a notice on the tribunal requiring that no action should be taken on your appeal until the outcome of the test case! is known! that power is contained in 26 social security act 1998. (4) the tribunal is bound to comply with that notice. consequently, your appeal will be stayed (that is frozen) untill the outcome of the (test case) we will contact you again at that point! (5) you have the right to ask the tribunal to reconsider this decision but it is fair to point out that ,essentially
, you would have to persuade the tribunal that your appeal falls outside the scop of the test case. you may wish to consult an advice worker first. WHAT THE FXXX is this all about any one shed any light ??

@bob & anyone who is still able to follow where DWP are at – didn’t the Poundland 2 go back to refute the reactionary rewriting and so it is still an ongoing case? Is it affecting the however many others who have a dispute like this one above? Or is it all just a bad dream …

Can’t help notice but we keep getting leaflets through the door for ‘funeral services’. And also the TV is littered with ads for ‘funeral plans’. Seems to be really on the increase of late, almost as if it is big business. Is something going on? Has there been an increase in the death rate or something?

And the local shopping mall has had FOUR undertakers move in! I mean like there is only one greengrocer, bakers but FOUR bleeding undertakers. Something unpleasant and depressing about having the stench of death thrust in your face when you are just trying to do a shop! Has to be the first time we have seen an undertaker squeezed between two charity shops – that is another thing the shopping mall is swarming with! It’s like when the high streets was invaded with bookies.

By the way did anyone check my Hansard post with Lord Fraud going on about bedroom tax ?,what’s this rent cut he is on about there…i tried to post the whole debate but wordpress wasn’t having it..
Anyone find stuff in the link let us know..

They have the biggest units too… full of headstones and coffins. It is really quite creepy. They are springing up like Dracula from his coffin. Just seem to be a quite a recent phenomena. Just like the when the bookies and the pawn-shops started to spring up… it is obviously an indicator of something… i.e. an increasing demand.

All it means is that when there is a ruling on the test case, which is currently being heard, that ruling COULD have an effect on your appeal. It could be that you would no longer need to appeal, or maybe your appeal would be looked at in a different way, could be a number of things.

Y ou could appeal to have your appeal heard before the test case has a ruling, but you would have to show that the test case has no bearing at all on your appeal.

Disappointing to read that the CAB are involved in this, but faced with a choice of reduced funding or toeing the line I understand why management acted as they did. The CAB management will seek to show that they are really helping claimants while the welfare to work industry will seek to show that their activities are wholly laudable and fully supported by the CAB. If CAB didn’t sup with the Devil more money would have gone to those who do so with short spoons! Claimants lose.

“Tackling benefit fraud: our fully-managed service helps you to more accurately and quickly identify households that are claiming discounts and benefits that they are not entitled to resulting in a reduction in fraud levels across the local authority and maximising revenue”. (CAPITA)

Capita have their dirty fingers everywhere. They “administer” local authority databases including the housing benefit lists. Also the NHS databases where they can read anyone’s medical history. And of course Capita runs the thoroughly disreputable TV Licensing outfit that routinely commits fraud and perjury through its commission-hungry salesmen stitching up those who don’t buy TV licences because they don’t watch TV.

I suspect that Capita use all its “customers” “confidential data” to compile a huge private and thoroughly illegal database that holds everything on any given UK individual. Capita needs rodding out to flush out all of its rotten core.

“Capita has established an extensive capability in health assessment through strategic acquisitions, including Premier Medical, now integrated into our health and wellbeing business and, more recently, Medicals Direct. Together with our existing operations this has created a scalable, diverse and client focused health and wellbeing business that utilises a multi-disciplinary team of general and mental health community nurses, occupational therapists and GPs, supported by subject matter experts where appropriate.”

“We are a proactive rehabilitation company offering the complete spectrum of rehabilitation and treatment services necessary to return a claimant to their pre-accident physical and psychological condition as soon as possible. Early rehabilitation is widely recognised as playing an essential part in returning an injured person to their pre-accident condition.”

I had some early intervention to “help me” after I developed agoraphobia due to my ex husband attacking me with an axe. One “helper” told me that he had had agoraohobia and he had thought that everyone on the bus was talking about him! I told him that was paranoia, and, if he was going to feign empathy,
the very least he could do was to get the symptoms of an illness correct. I was also told “agoraphobics need to try and get out more” it was a “no shi* Sherlock” moment, and I just walked out!

My sympathy to you and the moron helper, agoraphobia is something that may or may not be triggered by a past situation as in your case, for some it is stress related and the phobia itself is what it says phobia’s are supposed to be, irrational fears. but in some cases it is anything but as yours has proved to be.

EVEN MORE SINISTER IS THAT I SENT 4 REPORTS TO THE DWP FROM DOCTORS THAT STATED MY CONDITION WOULD NOT IMPROVE!

THESE REPORTS ARE FROM DWP DOCTORS……………………..

@Landless was it today. Fuck it ..it rained and i felt unwell. Would have gone there and chucked something at them. I hope that Lewisham council fuckwit gets some stick…after this and how they treated me..will Boycott Workfare report back to us on this with some nice video.

UN FUCKING BELEIVABLE. !! Tory MP calls the police on retired consituents trying to deliver petition about their concern about freedom of speech being curtailed with the new ‘ gagging law ‘

Utter total cunt…” Who do these ppl think they are having this freedom of speech nonsense…just who are they? Bloody constituents bothering me look I didbt become an MP to represent locals I did it to further my career. Its time this consistuency nonsense was stopped !”.

TWAT. Sorry but these cunts just have to go…they are fkin dangerous ..

@guy fawkes “in the 2005–2010 Parliament he was a member of the Intelligence and Security Committee, Vice Chairman of the 1922 Committee ” that’s Sir Richard Ottaway the Tory MP who called the police on his constituents over gagging bill where business will lobby in secret and campaigners to to shut up..
” intelligence and security ” ??

He also tries to help people die with his assisted suicide thing …
And into population control ..

Ian Mearns: It has come to my attention through research conducted by several disability campaign groups that as many as four people a day are dying within six weeks of being declared fit for work under the Department’s work capability assessment. Will the Secretary of State reflect on those figures? When he finds them to be true, as they are based on his Department’s data, will he come back to the House and apologise to the families of the deceased, who suffered unnecessarily in their last precious days? We can recuperate benefits that are awarded incorrectly, but we cannot recuperate a person’s life.

Reblogged this on Beastrabban’s Weblog and commented:
I’m afraid I missed this when it first came out. Although it’s now several days out of date, I’m reblogging it as I think it might still be useful for people, who want to tell Crapita and the rest of those organising and attending the conference exactly what people think of them and their vile policies.

The answer to Q3 is no, the Decision does not rely solely on the assessment report supplied by
Atos Healthcare. Other factors such as medical evidence from the claimants Limited Capability
for Work Questionnaire (ESA50) and any evidence requested from the claimants GP. Atos
Healthcare does not make any decision on entitlement following the Work Capability
Assessment that is solely the responsibility of DWP.

WHAT THIS PASSAGE SHOWS CLEARLY, IS THAT THE TWO INDIVIDUALS WHO MAKE A DECISION ON YOUR ESA PAYMENT ARE BOTH UNQUALIFIED.

THE SO CALLED HCP IS NOTHING MORE THAN A GLORIFIED PISS PAN WASHER SEEKING EXTRA COIN AT SOMEONES GRIEF, WHO HAS A GLOSSY CERTIFICATE, RECOGNISED BY NO REAL MEDICAL BODY, AWARDED OVER A FEW DAYS COURSEWORK.

THE OTHER, THE DWP DECISION MAKER, IS A PEN PUSHER, ALSO WITH NO MORE MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE OTHER THAN BEING AN INTERNET TRAWLER……………..

YOU ARE BEING SCAMMED BY A PAIR OF CHARLATANS, THE WHOLE EPISODE OF WORK CAPABILITY IS A CON TO SAVE MONEY AT THE FATE OF A PHYSICALLY OR MENTALLY SCARRED PERSON………………

AN INTERDEPARTMENTAL STITCH UP BETWEEN THE DWP AND THE COURTS SYSTEM……..

DESPITE WHAT THE GOVERNMENT WEBSITES MAY SAY ABOUT A HEARING, YOU ARE DENIED THE RIGHT TO SPEAK FREELY.

THE WHOLE TRIBUNAL IS DEMEANING, BIASED, AND A FOREGONE CONCLUSION……………..

How can it be classed as anything other than “DISABILITY DISCRIMINATION?”

WHAT ACT EMPOWERS THE DWP TO PERSECUTE THE LONG TERM DISABLED BY DEMANDING MULTIPLE HEALTH CHECKS OVER SHORT PERIODS OF TIME?

WHY ARE PROMINENT MINISTERS TURNING A BLIND EYE TO THE DEGRADING LEVELS OF PERSECUTION AGAINST THE WEAKEST AND MOST VULNERABLE?

I HAVE SEEN MANY REPORTS BLAMING THE LIKES OF ATOS, FOR RECALLING DISABLED CLAIMANTS FOR RE-EVALUATION, BUT THE CAUSE IS NOT THEM, IT IS SOLELY THE DWP!

PROBABLY ACTING ON INFORMATION FROM THE “WORTHLESS NUDGE UNIT”, THE DWP SEEK TO CONTINUE TO INFLICT GRIEF AND A FEELING OF WORTHLESSNESS AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY, ON THOSE LEAST LIKELY TO RESIST…………..

A LONG TERM PHYSICAL OR MENTAL DISABILITY IS CLASSED AS SOMETHING THAT CONTINUES FOR MORE THAN A YEAR,
WHY ARE CLAIMANTS SCRUTINISED AFTER ONLY A FEW MONTHS?
THERE IS ONLY ONE ANSWER, ” TO TRY AND DRIVE THEM TO SUICIDE”

IT MAY BE SAD, BUT IT’S TRUE.
THEY ARE PLAYING MIND GAMES THAT WILL END UP WITH ANOTHER CLAIMANTS DEATH, THE UNREPORTED CASUALTIES OF A HEINOUS ATTACK ON THE DISABLED………………..

WHY EVEN BOTHER TO GO TO A TRIBUNAL, WHERE YOU ARE RECOMMENDED A BINDING DECISION FOR, SAY, TWO YEARS, ONLY TO BE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST AND ASKED TO UNDERGO FURTHER TESTS AFTER THREE MONTHS?

THIS SHOWS THE UTTER CONTEMPT THAT IS HEAPED UPON THE DISABLED BY THE COLLUSION OF THE COURTS SERVICE, WHO LOOK THE OTHER WAY, AND THE TWISTED DWP ……………

THE FOLLOWING EXTRACT BEARS TESTAMENT TO WHAT I SAY;

To answer your question ‘how long would it be before Atos would be allowed to call a person in
for another medical’ Atos Healthcare does not decide when to invite a claimant for a further
Assessment, Department for Work & Pensions (DWP) instigates this action.

NOT ONLY DOES HUMAN RIGHTS LEGISLATE AGAINST THESE THINGS, SO DO DISABILITY DISCRIMINATION AND EQUALITY LAWS………………

THE GOVERNMENT ARE FUCKING WITH PEOPLES LIVES, SANCTIONS ARE THE PRODUCT OF AN EVIL REGIME.
